Also in 1919, the Grand Lodge, the union's overarching authority, determined that each BRSCFHESE lodge could have no more than one hundred members and lodge meetings were to occur on a monthly basis. This button, decorated with seasonal holly leaves and berries, dates from the December 1939 meeting. |
